1. A method, comprising:
- capturing data directly descriptive of movement of a movement object, the data corresponding to a first location on the movement object at or abutting a first end of the movement object, and the data being captured by an electronic motion sensor unit including one or more inertial sensors, the electronic motion sensor unit being coupled externally to an outer surface of the movement object at the first location, the movement object being configured for a physical sports or leisure activity;
processing the data with a processor to determine one or more first values directly descriptive of the movement of the movement object;
translating at least one of the first values to one or more second values corresponding to a second location on the movement object located away from the first location; and
wirelessly transmitting one or more of the data, the one or more first values, or the the one or more second values to a wireless receiver.

Abstract
Systems and methods for motion capture and analysis are described. The system may include a motion sensor unit configured to capture data associated with movement of an object. The motion sensor unit is configured to be directly or indirectly coupled to the movement object at a first location. The system also includes a processor to process the captured data to determine one or more values and to translate the data and/or values to correspond to a second location on the movement object located away from the first location. The data and/or values, including translated data and/or values, may be transmitted by wireless transmitter and displayed by a display unit.

23. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a motion sensor unit to detachably couple externally to an outer surface a movement object at a first location at or abutting a first end of the movement object, the movement object being used in a physical sport or leisure activity, the motion sensor unit including one or more inertial sensors capable of directly sensing movement of the movement object; a processor to process data from the inertial sensors to determine one or more values directly descriptive of movement of the movement object, and to translate the data or values to correspond to a second location on the movement object located away from the first location; and a wireless transmitter to transmit one or more of the data or at least one of the values to a wireless receiver. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
